The first time Antonio meets Grandpa Vargas is unnerving to say the least. The man was tall, maybe only an inch or so taller than the Spaniard himself, but he seemed to tower over him. The man had insisted on meeting with Antonio outside too, so Lovino couldn’t even act as some sort of barrier.
“What are your intentions with Lovi? How old are you? Who are your parents? Do you sm-” There is a barrage of questions shot at the teenager, and he can only blink in surprise.
“Can you slow down? I won’t remember all your questions and I don’t really want you to kill me.” There was a silence following the remark, before Julius barked out a laugh.
He patted Antonio’s shoulder, “I like that, but I do want to know your intentions.”
“Uh- well,” he scratches the back of his neck sheepishly, “I really like Lovino, and I want to see our relationship grow.”
That was enough for Julius. Feliciano, on the other hand...

It was a week after Antonio and Lovino’s first date that the younger Italian corners him at the beach while his brother was in the water.
“Toni!” He greeted, far too cheerily.
“Uh, hi Feli… Didn’t we do this when we first saw each other?”
“Oh we did, but I’m not done!” There is a happy grin on his face, but a mischievous grin, “I just want you to know if you hurt my brother, I will disembowel you!” Feliciano turned around as he heard Ludwig call him, “Be right there,” and with a final glance, shoots a dark look towards Antonio, “don’t forget.”

Meeting Antonio’s family was a completely different story. The house was modest, and Ms. Carmen Fernández Pérez de Carriedo was sweet and welcoming; actually hugging Lovino upon formally meeting him. She told the two to do whatever while she made dinner, and mentioned that Afonso would be home soon.
The two decided to wait outside, laying on the soft grass with their hands entwined, to enjoy the sun. Together, the two teenagers fell asleep, only to be awoken by the barking of a dog.

“... oh! You would not believe what he did when he was five!” Afonso spoke animatedly, moving his hands as he laughed, ignoring the glare of his younger brother.
“What did he do?” Lovino wore a small smile, hearing stories of his boyfriend being a kid was cute, and really not embarrassing, in his personal opinion.
Needless to say it went well.
